Ortiz is the first UFC inductee since 2010. He will be inducted during the day Saturday at the UFC Fan Expo and then enter the final bout of his 15-year career later that night against Forrest Griffin at UFC 148 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Ocean View's Timmy Robinson, the MVP of the Golden West league and member of the All-CIF Southern Division team, had been named to the South roster but elected not to play.
